Since its inception in 1996, the Bristol Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities (SCC) has raised more than $7.5 million in support of children's agencies in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia - a feat made possible by the organization's loyal supporters.

"Each year, we are humbled by the support we receive from our community and the loyal fans of Bristol Motor Speedway," said Claudia Byrd, executive director of the Bristol Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities. "In 2013 their generosity enabled us to distribute more than $742,000 to 87 children's agencies in the region. Through continuing contributions and our full schedule of events, our goal is to exceed those expectations in 2014."
